While general satisfaction IL ielt 1t the
improved service given by the new manage
ment Of the electric light plant, it must not
be imagined that increased brilliancy in the
lights already placed about the city atones
for the entire absence at night Of lights in
some Of the populous residence sections
that now sit in darkness. The residents of
Granite street, between Main and the Court
House, have petitioned for q light in that
block now stepped in gloom after nightfal.
and their petition has been referred by the
Council to the Committee ON Light. There
can he no question a. to it's necessity.
But there is another section, that on
Quarts street and the portion OF the city
back Of the Court House, that has really
been deprived Of illumination 1t night
where it formerly enjoyed it. Previous to
the illumination OF the Court House clock,
this section and q large radius on every

lights placed about the top Of the Court

The injurious reports which have eman-
ated from certain quarters within the past
few days that the Alice Company had an
Interior motive in shutting down above
and beyond the excessive price OF salt
namely, reduction OF wages-were regarded
by this journal as hitherto unworthy OF
notice. But since it has been adverted to
by the Inter Mountain and Mining } Journal.
THE MINER Ear declare it's unhesitating
and irm conviction from the best authority
that the charge is malicious and groundless.
It can further add from utterances made
by the gentleman himself in the presence Of
witnesses, that Superintendent Hall would
sever his connection with the great
corporation whose affairs he has managed
with such signal ability than to advocate
any such measures.
